Madrona Center

Anacortes, Washington,

United States

Madrona is a community dedicated to the arts, sustainable living and permaculture. We have existed as an arts community since 2004 and last year established a farming and permaculture group. We plan to become a center of learning for skills that will be needed in the future. On our island we have blacksmiths, potters, glassblowers, papermakers, bookbinders, wood and stone carvers, and experienced builders. Refer to the website to see our history.

We are now looking for a financially

independent individual to run programs

in permaculture, organic farming and

alternative building. We are also

supporting and involved in the Transition Towns movement.
